Coincidentia oppositorum: от Николая Кузанского к Николаю Казанскому (Н. А. Васильеву)

Abstract

I describe the interrelation between the imaginary logic of N. A. Vasiliev (1880 — 1940) and ideas of Nicho-las of Cusa. In 1910 Nicholas Vasiliev, a logician from Kazan, proposed the imaginary (non-aristotelian) logic. He presumed that the idea of imaginary logic is developing the coincidentia oppositorum principle of Nicholas of Cusa. N. A. Vasiliev believed that imaginary logic can be applied not only to Christian epistemology but also to the 20th century science.
